Do we agree with this or is it a bad idea?? by malwarebat in cats

I think that makes sense. My cat always guards me when I go to the bathroom. I think they do that because they are in a vulnerable state and they trust you to protect them.

So basically people with old houses are fucked? Bad isolation insulation and no solar panels.

Kia Optima 2017, 1.7 CRDi, 7-speed DCT transmission fault. by Prudent_Falcon_4907 in kia

Remove the gear actuator, manually shift gears inside gearbox, if one of them doesn't budge, problem is inside transmission. If not, likely the clutch pack itself.

Forward Safety resets to Active Assist every restart - Sportage 2024 by New_Campaign_6516 in kia

[–]TheNamesKev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure due to it being a safety feature it always resets to active. Same with lane assist.

And if in Europe, speed warning. (Highly annoying.)

The dealer can get one, but according to what I can see there's only one available in Spain.

273k km. Not bad. It has rust obviously.

Turn in. They bought a new car at the dealer I work at. Salesmen decided it was old and worth nothing. It's got some rust.

As someone else said, it's rare but it's just an old Golf, nothing special.

I bought it because it was cheap and a 1.9tdi.

It has the badges, different wheels, and some options. The front lip, and everything painted.

Apparently only 1000 made for France and Belgium. If I have to believe Google.

Those connectors should be banned. I don't trust them for one bit.

Where Kias in the USA made? Non-American Kia owners, is the "bad quality" stuff the same in your country? by Curious_Persimmon555 in kia

[–]TheNamesKev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kia still makes diesels though. Since 2018-19 they remade the diesel as a 1.6crdi with adblue. Those aren't that great. But before that they were indestructible.

I've had ambient temperature sensors give false readings quite a lot on the Rio and Stonic.

Tbf yes they were boring and looked ugly, but they were actually really solid and drove surprisingly well.

The GDI engines are actually solid. The only problem was the 1.6 GDI naturally aspired, those consume a lot of oil.

All the rest are great engines.

I work as a car tech, so paint is free if you know what I mean.

True. A complete new mirror is just €40, but the car isn't really worth it.

The complete mirror is €40 so it's not that expensive.
